A section is an area in Blogger layout that acts as a widget/gadget container. It is sometimes mistakenly addressed a page element. In Design > Page Elements tab, you can identify a section by the presence of an Add A Gadget link.

To add a widget, simply click the Add A Gadget link in your preferred location and proceed with selecting a widget. But what if your preferred location doesn’t have an Add A Gadget link? In other words there is no widget container there.

Well we can always make one, by adding a section tag in template HTML. Here is the code:

I have a 2 column set-up. Left side is blog postings, called "main", right side is gadgets, called "sidebar." Both sides are equal widths. Is it possible to add HTML Javascript widgets that are full-page width at various points down my page, in effect interrupting the two columns as a colspan="2" would in regular HTML?I read your article about adding a new container, but can't figure out how to put it somewhere in the middle of everything.

Thanks so much for providing all this great information. Love your site.
